Couple of weird problems with my 645D

I recently fired up my 645D after several months of leaving it sitting on the shelf
I've got a couple of weird things going on that I can't figure out how to fix
I am hoping somebody can tell me how to correct them both
  • the camera is shooting in monochrome and I can't find where in the MENU to change it back to normal color
  • the focus confirmation ( green light - beep ) isn't working on manual focus

Thanks,
Bob

It would be under the custom image menu.

I don't remember how this works on the 645D, but maybe you need to put the switch in AF mode?

My personal preference as the first step whenever I encounter some sort of weirdness is a camera reset.

I don't know where the functions are that you need as I don't think my 645z menu is the same as the 645d, however this is a link to the factory instructions.

I do not have the 645D but all Pentax menus are similar. You probably pressed "Digital Filters" menu button. I looked online how is the button layout on 645D and it should be at the bottom, second button from left (between flash and drive). There you can switch to preview images but anyway if you shoot raw the pictures are anyway in color.
